Description

Modulators of Rho-associated Protein Kinase

[0001] This invention relates to novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the novel compounds. More specifically, the invention relates to compounds useful as modulators of Rho- associated protein kinase (ROCK), for example ROCK1 and / or ROCK2 inhibitors. This invention also relates to processes for preparing the compounds, uses of the compounds and methods of treatment employing the compounds. The compounds of the invention may therefore be used in treating ROCK- mediated diseases.BACKGROUND

[0002] Rho-associated coiled-coil Kinase (ROCK) is a member of the AGC family of serine / threonine kinases that are involved in many aspects of cellular signalling [Lock et al 2012], Highly conserved in mammalian species, two isoforms of ROCK are known to exist ROCK1 and ROCK2. They share 65% homology in their amino acid sequence and 92% homology in their kinase domain. In addition, they contain a long coiled-coil domain, a PH domain and a Rho binding domain, suggesting they are activated by Rho GTPases such as RhoA that link several classes of cell surface receptor to internal kinase signalling. ROCK1 and ROCK2 have been shown to bind to and phosphorylate a large number of substrate proteins involved in processes such as migration, pro- fibrotic cytokine production, cell adhesion and proliferation, but the most studied are those associated with actin cytoskeleton rearrangements [Surma et al 2014]. The best characterized ROCK substrate is the Myosin Phosphatase Target Subunit 1 (MYPT1), a regulatory subunit of myosin phosphatase. MYPT1 counteracts the activity of Myosin Light Chain (MLC) kinase and thus decreases the contraction of smooth muscle cells. ROCK phosphorylates and deactivates MYPT1 and that in turn leads to MLC kinase phosphorylation, activation and actomyosin contraction [Feng et al 1999; Velasco et al 2002]. When administered systemically pan-ROCK inhibitors induce vasodilation, hyperaemia and hypotension, limiting their use as therapeutic agents in the context of fibrosis and most other diseases [Kast et al 2007]. ROCK is also known to phosphorylate LIM-kinases (LIMK1 and LIMK2) which in turn phosphorylate cofilin leading to increased cellular actin filaments [Maekawa et al 1999]. Many additional substrates have been identified, some of which have been suggested to be more specifically phosphorylated by either ROCK1 or ROCK2. [Hartmann et al 2015]. ROCK isoforms are differentially expressed in different tissues with ROCK1 predominant in the kidney, liver, lungs, and testis, while ROCK2 is predominantly expressed in the brain and muscle tissues [Nakagawa ef al 1996], Isoform expression can also alter during disease, with ROCK2 often increasing in expression in comparison to ROCK1 ; taken together all these data strongly suggest that ROCK1 and ROCK2 have both overlapping and distinct functions in homeostasis and disease.

[0003] Both ROCK1 and ROCK2 are involved in numerous pro-fibrotic processes with pan-ROCK inhibitors able to strongly suppress TGF(3 stimulated myofibroblast activation, chemokine driven fibroblast migration and EMT in response to profibrotic mediators such as Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and endothelin [Sakai et al 2016]. The specific role of each ROCK isoform in disease is largely unknown at present although both independent and redundant roles have been suggested. Studies using haplozygous knockout mice (ROCK2+ / -) where one allele of ROCK2 has been removed(reducing the expression of ROCK2) have shown that multiple aspects of disease can be attenuated. Knipe et al demonstrated that both ROCK1+ / - mice and ROCK2+ / - mice were protected in the bleomycin induced lung fibrosis model of IPF. A more recent study looked at both ROCK2+ / - mice and ROCK2 haplozygous mice, with one allele of ROCK2 mutated to a kinase activity dead configuration, thereby reducing signalling but not expression of ROCK2 [Wei et al 2020]. In both models the knockout mice showed remarkable protection from weight gain when fed a high fat diet, with some resistance to obesity induced type 2 diabetes and liver steatosis. The results mirrored work carried out by Soliman ef al 2016 that also showed that ROCK2+ / - mice were protected from type 2 diabetes insulin resistance when fed a high fat diet. An earlier study also looking at ROCK2 in the context of poor nutrition demonstrated a role for ROCK2 in atherosclerosis. Mice deficient in Low Density Lipoprotein receptor (LDLr- / -) develop atherosclerosis when fed a high cholesterol diet. Bone marrow specific deletion of ROCK2 in these mice led to dramatic reduction in atherosclerotic lesions and reduced inflammatory cytokines in macrophages, suggesting ROCK2 may play a significant role in macrophage derived fatty foam cell formation that is a key pathogenic driver in atherosclerosis [Zhou et al 2012]. ROCK2 may also play a role in the often-fatal thrombosis observed in atherosclerosis. LDLr- / - mice with platelet specific knockout of ROCK2 showed a significant reduction in circulating blood clots when fed a high cholesterol diet [Sladojevic et al 2017], Furthertissue specific knockouts of ROCK2 have also shown protection in models of human disease. Deletion of ROCK2 in cardiac specific fibroblasts reduced both cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis and improved heart function in an angiotensin II infusion model of heart failure [Shimizu et al 2017]. Similar protection was also observed in the same model when ROCK2 was specifically deleted in cardiomyocytes [Okamoto et al 2013], Taken together the knockout data shows that ROCK2 is not only involved in fibrosis but also in a number of the deleterious processes that lead to fibrosis and tissue remodelling making ROCK2 a nodal point for disease progression.

[0004] ROCK also plays a significant role in pathologies of the central nervous system (CNS). For example, ROCK-signalling has been demonstrated to be elevated in the serum, spleen, brain and spinal cord of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients compared to healthy individuals. Dysregulation of autophagy contributes to the development of misfolded tau aggregates in early Alzheimer's disease (AD). When inhibited, ROCK2, which is expressed in excitatory neurons, can induce autophagy pathways and inhibition of ROCK2 could be a therapeutic approach for AD.

[0005] Furthermore, it is an aim of certain embodiments of this invention to provide new treatments, for example treatments for diabetes, inflammation, Alzheimer’s, hypertension, muscular dystrophies, fibrosis, cancer, pathologies of the central nervous system and other conditions associated with ROCK1 and / or ROCK2. In particular, it is an aim of certain embodiments of this invention to provide compounds which have comparable activity to existing ROCK therapies.

[0006] It is an aim of certain embodiments of this invention to provide compounds which exhibit reduced cytotoxicity or increased solubility relative to prior art compounds and existing therapies.

[0007] Another aim of certain embodiments of this invention is to provide compounds having a convenient pharmacokinetic profile and a suitable duration of action following dosing. A further aimof certain embodiments of this invention is to provide compounds in which the metabolised fragment or fragments of the drug after absorption are GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe).

[0008] Certain embodiments of the present invention satisfy some or all of the above aims. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

For the absence of doubt, “ortho” substitution is a substitution pattern where adjacent carbons possess a substituent, whether a simple group, for example the fluoro group in the example below, or other portions of themolecule, as indicated by the bond ending in “ ”..

[0127] “Meta” substitution is a substitution pattern where two substituents are on carbons one carbon removed from each other, i.e with a single carbon atom between the substituted carbons. In other words there is a substituent on the second atom away from the atom with another substituent. For example the groups below are meta substituted..

[0128] “Para” substitution is a substitution pattern where two substituents are on carbons two carbons removed from each other, i.e with two carbon atoms between the substituted carbons. In other words there is a substituent on the third atom away from the atom with another substituent. For example the groups below are para substituted..

[0129] Throughout the description the disclosure of a compound also encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and stereoisomers thereof. Where a compound has a stereocentre, both (R) and (S) stereoisomers are contemplated by the invention, equally mixtures of stereoisomers or a racemic mixture are completed by the present application. Where a compound ofhe invention has two or more stereocentres any combination of (R) and (S) stereoisomers is contemplated. The combination of (R) and (S) stereoisomers may result in a diastereomeric mixture or a single diastereoisomer. The compounds of the invention may be present as a single stereoisomer or may be mixtures of stereoisomers, for example racemic mixtures and other enantiomeric mixtures, and diasteroemeric mixtures. Where the mixture is a mixture of enantiomers the enantiomeric excess may be any of those disclosed above. Where the compound is a single stereoisomer the compounds may still contain other diasteroisomers or enantiomers as impurities. Hence a single stereoisomer does not necessarily have an enantiomeric excess (e.e.) or diastereomeric excess (d.e.) of 100% but could have an e.e. or d.e. of about at least 85%, at least 60% or less. For example, the e.e. or d.e. may be 90% or more, 90% or more, 80% or more, 70% or more, 60% or more, 50% or more, 40% or more, 30% or more, 20% or more, or 10% or more.

[0130] The invention contemplates pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of thenvention. These may include the acid addition and base salts of the compounds. These may be acid addition and base salts of the compounds. In addition the invention contemplates solvates of the compounds. These may be hydrates or other solvated forms of the compound.

[0131] Suitable acid addition salts are formed from acids which form non-toxic salts. Examplesnclude the acetate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate / carbonate, bisulfate / sulfate, borate, camsylate, citrate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride / chloride, hydrobromide / bromide, hydroiodide / iodide,sethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulfate, naphthylate, 1,5- naphthalenedisulfonate, 2-napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate / hydrogen phosphate / dihydrogen phosphate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tartrate, tosylate and trifluoroacetate salts.

[0132] Suitable base salts are formed from bases which form non-toxic salts. Examples include the aluminium, arginine, benzathine, calcium, choline, diethylamine, diolamine, glycine, lysine, magnesium, meglumine, olamine, potassium, sodium, tromethamine and zinc salts. Hemisalts of acids and bases may also be formed, for example, hemisulfate and hemicalcium salts. For a review on suitable salts, see "Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use" by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2002).

[0133] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by one or more of three methods: (i) by reacting the compound of the invention with the desired acid or base; (ii) by removing an acid- or base-labile protecting group from a suitable precursor of the compound of the invention or by ring-opening a suitable cyclic precursor, for example, a lactone or lactam, using the desired acid or base; or (iii) by converting one salt of the compound of the invention to another by reaction with an appropriate acid or base or by means of a suitable ion exchange column.

[0134] All three reactions are typically carried out in solution. The resulting salt may precipitate out and be collected by filtration or may be recovered by evaporation of the solvent. The degree of ionisation in the resulting salt may vary from completely ionised to almost non-ionised.

[0135] The compounds of the invention may exist in both unsolvated and solvated forms. The term 'solvate' is used herein to describe a molecular complex comprising the compound of the invention and a stoichiometric amount of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules, for example, ethanol. The term 'hydrate' is employed when said solvent is water.

[0136] Included within the scope of the invention are complexes such as clathrates, drug-host inclusion complexes wherein, in contrast to the aforementioned solvates, the drug and host are present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts. Also included are complexes of the drug containing two or more organic and / or inorganic components which may be in stoichiometric or non- stoichiometric amounts. The resulting complexes may be ionised, partially ionised, or non- ionised. For a review of such complexes, see J Pharm Sci, 64 (8), 1269-1288 by Haleblian (August 1975).

[0137] Hereinafter all references to compounds of any formula include references to salts, solvates and complexes thereof and to solvates and complexes of salts thereof.

[0138] The compounds of the invention include compounds of a number of formula as herein defined, including all polymorphs and crystal habits thereof, prodrugs and isomers thereof (including optical, geometric and tautomeric isomers) as hereinafter defined and isotopically-labelled compounds of the invention.

[0139] The present invention also includes all pharmaceutically acceptable isotopically-labelled compounds of the invention wherein one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having the sameatomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number most commonly found in nature.

[0140] Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, such as2H and3H, carbon, such as11C,13C and14C, chlorine, such as36Cl, fluorine, such as18F, iodine, such as123I and125I, nitrogen, such as13N and15N, oxygen, such as15O,17O and18O, phosphorus, such as32P, and sulphur, such as35S.

[0141] Certain isotopically-labelled compounds, for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e.3H, and carbon-14, i.e.14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.

[0142] Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e.2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances.

[0143] Before purification, the compounds of the present invention may exist as a mixture of enantiomers depending on the synthetic procedure used. The enantiomers can be separated by conventional techniques known in the art. Thus the invention covers individual enantiomers as well as mixtures thereof.

[0144] For some of the steps of the process of preparation of the compounds of the invention, it may be necessary to protect potential reactive functions that are not wished to react, and to cleave said protecting groups in consequence. In such a case, any compatible protecting radical can be used. In particular methods of protection and deprotection such as those described by T.W. GREENE (Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, A. Wiley- lnterscience Publication, 1981) or by P. J. Kocienski (Protecting groups, Georg Thieme Verlag, 1994), can be used. All of the above reactions and the preparations of novel starting materials used in the preceding methods are conventional and appropriate reagents and reaction conditions for their performance or preparation as well as procedures for isolating the desired products will be well-known to those skilled in the art with reference to literature precedents and the examples and preparations hereto.

[0145] Also, the compounds of the present invention as well as intermediates for the preparation thereof can be purified according to various well-known methods, such as for example crystallization or chromatography.

construct N-terminal 6His-tagged ROCK2 catalytic domain 11-552 (Dundee University, UK). Protein was purified from a baculovirus expression system. Long S6 peptide (KEAKEKRQEQIAKRRRLSSLRASTSKSGGSQK) was used as substrate. Kinase reactions were carried out in 15 pl volume in a 96-well plate (black, half area) using 1.25 nM constitutively active ROCK2 kinase, 100 pM long S6 peptide, 20 pM ATP and test compound in DMSO (or DMSO only for controls). The final concentration of DMSO was <1 %. Assay buffer was 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5 supplemented with 0.2 mM EDTA, 10 mM magnesium acetate, 0.01% Tween-20, 1 mM DTT and 0.01 % BSA. Test compounds were pre-incubated with ROCK2 kinase for 1 h before addition of ATP and long S6 peptide. After incubation for a further 1 h, the amount of ADP produced was measured using ADP-Glo Kinase Assay (Promega) as per manufacturer’s instructions. The luminescence was measured on a PHERAstar FS (BMG Labtech). The concentration of test compound required to inhibit ADP production by 50% (the ICso) was calculated using a four-parameter logistic function with software by Dotmatics.Table 8 shows the ROCK2 or ROCK1 binding activity, as determined by the assay described above, for certain compounds of the formula, categorised based on the ROCK2 or ROCKI ICso value of the compound as “+”, “++”, “+++” and “++++”. The category “+” refers to compounds with a ROCK2 or ROCK1 ICso value of > 10 pM. The category “++” refers to compounds with a ROCK2 or ROCK1 ICso value of 10 to 3 pM. The category “+++” refers to compounds with a ROCK1 or ROCK2 ICso value of 3 to 0.3 pM. The category “++++” refers to compounds with a ROCK1 or ROCK2 ICso value of < 0.3 pM.
